England Has the Spirit

Whispering Pines Golf Club in Trinity was the site of the The Spirit International Amateur Golf Championship over the weekend, a four-day event pitting teams of amateur men and women golfers representing 24 different countries.

And your winner: England, which finished at 43-under 553. Each country fielded a 2-person men's team and a 2-person women's team. The men's and women's team scores were combined each day, for one country score. Hence the odd stroke total.

The U.S. finished tied with South Africa in second place. If you want to know about The Spirit competition, check out the tournament website.
